Unleash Your Inner Fury: Top 10 Barbarian Feats in Baldur's Gate 3

Dominate the battlefield in Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3) with these powerful Barbarian feats. Barbarians are a force to be reckoned with, and the right feats can amplify their already impressive damage output and survivability. While Barbarians have fewer feat choices than some classes, selecting wisely is key. Here are the top 10 feats to consider:

10. Durable

How to Unlock Description
Level 4 Constitution +1 (max 20). Full HP restoration after each short rest.

Already tough, Barbarians become virtually unkillable with Durable. The Constitution boost is valuable, but the full HP restoration on short rests is game-changing, especially at higher difficulty levels.

9. Lucky

How to Unlock Description
Level 4 3 luck points per long rest. Use to gain advantage on rolls or force enemy rerolls.

Versatile and potent, Lucky provides three luck points per long rest, usable for advantage on attacks, ability checks, saving throws, or forcing enemy attack rerolls. A strong choice for any class, including Barbarians.

8. Mage Slayer

How to Unlock Description
Level 4 Advantage on saving throws against spells cast at melee range. Reactionary attack against the caster. Enemies hit have disadvantage on concentration saves.

A Barbarian's nemesis: enemy spellcasters. Mage Slayer counters this perfectly, granting advantage against spells cast at melee range, allowing a reaction attack against the caster, and inflicting disadvantage on concentration saves for hit enemies. Essential for neutralizing spellcasters.

7. Athlete

6. Savage Attacker

How to Unlock Description
Level 4 Charge 9m, hitting the first enemy with increased damage. No opportunity attacks provoked.

Thematically fitting and highly effective, Charger allows a 9m charge, hitting the first enemy with increased damage and avoiding opportunity attacks. Perfect for closing the distance and initiating combat.

How to Unlock Description
Level 4 +2 HP per level gained (retroactive).

Enhance survivability with Tough, granting +2 HP per level, including retroactive application. At higher levels, this equates to significant additional health.

3. Sentinel

How to Unlock Description
Level 4 Reactionary weapon attack against an enemy attacking an ally (ally must not have Sentinel). Advantage on opportunity attacks. Hitting with an opportunity attack immobilizes the target.

Sentinel excels at protecting allies, allowing a reactionary attack against enemies targeting allies, providing advantage on opportunity attacks, and immobilizing targets hit with opportunity attacks. A powerful defensive feat.

2. Polearm Master

BG3 polearm master

How to Unlock Description
Level 4 Bonus action attack with the polearm's butt. Opportunity attack when a target enters range.

Polearms offer excellent range, and Polearm Master enhances this further. A bonus action attack with the polearm's butt and opportunity attacks on approaching enemies make this a strong choice.

1. Great Weapon Master

BG3 great weapon master

How to Unlock Description
Level 4 Bonus action attack after a critical hit or kill. +10 damage, -5 attack roll penalty for heavy melee weapons.

Great Weapon Master maximizes damage output. The -5 penalty is offset by the +10 damage and bonus action attack after critical hits or kills. A high-risk, high-reward feat perfect for the Barbarian's all-or-nothing playstyle.

These feats offer a range of benefits, from increased survivability to devastating damage. Consider your playstyle and build when selecting, but Great Weapon Master is a strong contender for early-game power.
